Walker dodges question about lack of degree

I think going to college is important but I don't think the lack of a degree should disqualify someone on the surface. We all know the richest man in the world for a long time didn't have a college degree. Growing up in the Bay Area I had friends that went to Stanford that had book smarts off the charts but couldn't lead a horse to water. I wouldn't want them anywhere near a leadership position. Some people may be very bright and smart but struggle for any number of reasons in their youth and thus don't get into an Ivy League school or aren't able to go to college while young but would make exceptional leaders.

I don't like the idea of ruling someone out strictly because they don't have a college degree.
 
Nobody says he can't
I just know as sucky as the republican bench is
It's not so bad as to take the first non grad on over 50 years

We would remind you that Obama, the smartest president ever elected according to you liberal ball lickers, a graduate of Columbia University & Harvard Law School actually said the following during his campaign for the presidency, "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

We would also remind you that we as a country elected 9 other presidents without degrees.
George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, and Harry Truman.

Fail. I think Clinton, not Obama, is the smartest president ever elected.

Obviously Obama was referring to the mainland states and meant "47" not "57", but you cons may continue pretending this was lack of knowledge rather than a slip of the tongue.

<sigh> We've been down this road so many times before with you cons. He did write for the HRL.

"... an unsigned — and previously unattributed — 1990 article unearthed by Politico offers a glimpse at Obama's views on abortion policy and the law during his student days, and provides a rare addition to his body of work. The six-page summary, tucked into the third volume of the year's Harvard Law Review, considers the charged, if peripheral, question of whether fetuses should be able to file lawsuits against their mothers. Obama's answer, like most courts': No. He wrote approvingly of an Illinois Supreme Court ruling that the unborn cannot sue their mothers for negligence, and he suggested that allowing fetuses to sue would violate the mother's rights and could, perversely, cause her to take more risks with her pregnancy."

And when he became president of the HLR, his job wasn't about writing for it.

"After winning a spot on the Review, Obama beat out 18 other contenders to become the first African-American president in the then-103-year history of the Review, and his duties included leading discussions and debates to determine what to print from the mountain of submissions from judges, scholars and authors from across the country, supervising the thorough editing of each issue's contents and giving every article what's known as a "P-read" once it was finally considered ready for publication."

He said he wasn't allowed to visit Alaska and Hawaii so they don't count. If he had visited 47 at that point, there was still one left but he didn't say which.

"... it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in fifty .... seven states? I think one left to go. One left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit but my staff would not justify it."
